Immortal Demonic Path

Chapter 59 The Moon-Gazing Demon King Enters the Golden Core

The man in the yellow robe left with the book and elixirs, while Li Changsheng focused on his cultivation.

Although the cultivation process is slow, one can still clearly sense their own progress.

The Longevity Dao Scripture circulates, and the Dao Yuan Golden Liquid flows throughout the body, immersing the individual in their own world.

An endless source of life, the everlasting tree that sustains the world.

The visualized world within oneself continuously absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, as well as the essence of the sun and moon.

He has plenty of time and can slowly accumulate Dao Yuan for cultivation; all he needs is the method.

That's why he sent the yellow robe in exchange for cultivation methods and scriptures.

Leaving aside methods like the Xuan Tian Dao Jing, general cultivation methods can be used as a reference.

After two months of focused cultivation, Nie Qiu returned.

Li Changsheng invited Nie Qiu in and said, "Senior brother, why are you back so early this time?"

"The Moon-Gazing Demon King has entered the Golden Core stage."

Nie Qiu said with a heavy expression, "Our development in Tianshui City has been ruined by Wang Yue."

Li Changsheng frowned and asked, "Is Wangyue targeting Lingxu Cave Heaven? What about Qingxuan Cave Heaven?"

"The properties of Qingxuan Cave Heaven and Shuiyue Cave Heaven in Tianshui City have also suffered heavy losses."

Nie Qiu said in a low voice, "According to our investigation, it seems there are also monsters."

"There are monsters too?" Li Changsheng frowned.

"Yes, it's not just Mochizuki; there are probably other yokai lurking in the shadows."

Nie Qiu said, "It's still unclear what kind of demon it is. Qingxuan Cave Heaven is currently investigating."

"Senior brother, you should stay in the sect," Li Changsheng sighed softly.

"Wangyue doesn't dare to act recklessly in Tianshui City yet; it's still relatively safe there."

Nie Qiu said, "Now, I have no choice but to go to Tianshui City."

  

"Why?" Li Changsheng asked, puzzled.

"Because I met the one I love." A smile appeared on Nie Qiu's face. "She's still in Tianshui City, and I have to go back."

Li Changsheng cupped his hands and said, "I see. Congratulations, Senior Brother."

"You can rest assured about my safety for now. I have established a firm foothold in Tianshui City. Her ancestor is also a Golden Core cultivator."

Nie Qiudao.

"Safety first. If anything happens to you, Senior Brother, go to Qingxuan Cave for refuge."

Even if Wang Yue were to reach the Golden Core stage, he could not possibly shake the Azure Profound Cave Heaven.

Li Changsheng said.

The Azure Profound Cave Heaven is backed by the Profound Heaven Sect, and no one knows how many Golden Core cultivators are within the sect.

"I understand." Nie Qiu nodded and said, "Qingxuan Cave Heaven has already sent out Golden Core cultivators. We have returned this time to invite Elder Gu Hengtong to go and oversee things."

"Elder Gu Hengtong is going?" Li Changsheng pondered. "I've already told Huangpao and the others to keep an eye out and report to the sect leader immediately if Wangyue shows any signs of returning."

"Take care too, I'll invite you to my wedding banquet later," Nie Qiu said with a smile.

"Then I look forward to that day," Li Changsheng said with a smile.

Nie Qiu took out a porcelain bottle from the belt: "This is crystal candy unique to Tianshui City. It is most helpful to water-attribute cultivators."

"Senior brother, shouldn't we save this candy for your wife?" Li Changsheng said.

"I bought a lot for her. These were specially sold to the junior brothers of the sect. I kept one bottle for you," Nie Qiu said.

"Thank you, Senior Brother," Li Changsheng said, cupping his hands in thanks.

"I'm leaving." Nie Qiu stood up and said, "This time, all three sects will send out Golden Core cultivators to fight Wang Yue. They should be able to defeat Wang Yue."

Li Changsheng saw Nie Qiu off and returned to the house.

The three factions invited Golden Core cultivators to Tianshui City for a battle, hoping that Wangyue wouldn't have many allies.

The sect is safer; we won't go to Tianshui City for now.

A place with both Golden Core cultivators and dragons—this place is too dangerous.

He focused on his cultivation, and as evening approached, he sensed fluctuations in the array; Liu Wuyou had woken up.

Stepping out of the room and deactivating the array, Liu Wuyou swayed the branches.

"How was your seclusion?" Li Changsheng asked.

"I've made some progress, but I haven't found a method that suits me yet," Liu Wuyou said.

Li Changsheng said, "No rush, take your time."

Unfortunately, the Lingxu Cave Heaven's cultivation techniques are too poor.

Should I go and become a disciple of Qingxuan Cave Heaven and Shuiyue Cave Heaven?

The Mirror Flower and Water Moon of Water Moon Cave Heaven is quite suitable for my illusion array; the cultivation method of Azure Profound Cave Heaven should be more profound.

However, the "Mirror Flower, Water Moon" technique is a unique skill of the Water Moon Cave Heaven and cannot be passed on to outsiders.

Even for disciples of Shuiyue Cave Heaven, it's not something that can be learned easily; it requires personal instruction from the sect leader.

Mo Xuanming, the former direct disciple, has already gone to Xuantian Sect with Niu Wendao.

If a spot hadn't been promised, Shuiyue Cave Heaven wouldn't have immediately switched sides and sided with Niu Wendao.

As for Qingxuan Cave Heaven, it's no problem for me to ask for some ordinary cultivation methods, but they definitely won't give me anything too advanced.

But after thinking about it carefully, I decided against it.

Even if I changed my identity and joined two different sects, I probably still wouldn't be able to become a direct disciple and learn any profound techniques.

Let's wait for the right opportunity. Perhaps one day, the Water Moon Cave will advance further and create an even better method, and the Mirror Flower Water Moon will be revealed.

"Yes, I'll figure it out slowly," Liu Wuyou said.

"Oh, right, Senior Brother Nie Qiu is back. Here are some crystal candies he brought back. Try some."

Li Changsheng gave the crystal candy to Liu Wuyou.

There were eighteen pills in the bottle. He ate one, and the water spiritual energy inside was quite abundant for someone at the Qi Refining Realm. After eating it, he felt as if he were in a river.

If a water-attribute cultivator were to consume it, it would indeed aid in their understanding of the water attribute.

For those at the Foundation Establishment stage, it's just about tasting the flavor; that bit of water spiritual energy is only experienced for a fleeting moment.

Liu Wuyou took out a crystal candy, and the entire tree was filled with moisture.

"These are some very unusual candies," Liu Wuyou said, handing the porcelain bottle to Li Changsheng. "You should have some too."

"I've already eaten it, and it won't help me much," Li Changsheng said. "But it will be useful for your cultivation, so you can keep it."

"Thank you very much." Liu Wuyou slightly bent the tree trunk and bowed to him. "Did Senior Brother Nie Qiu bring back any news about the Moon Gazing Demon King this time?"

"The Moon-Gazing Demon King has reached the Golden Core stage, and the three sects have invited Golden Core cultivators to a duel," Li Changsheng said. "The Moon-Gazing Demon King must have met a new demon king over there and gained an ally."

"If Wangyue doesn't come back, we won't have to run away, right?" Liu Wuyou asked.

"Yes, but it's hard to guarantee that Wangyue won't resort to a sneak attack or a diversionary tactic." Li Changsheng pondered, "I'll talk to Nie Qiu about this tomorrow and have him report to the sect leader and contact Qingxuan Cave Heaven."

With the Golden Core cultivators gone and Wangyue returning, it will be a bloodbath.

The only place we can count on is Qingxuan Cave Heaven.

I hope I'm just worrying unnecessarily.

"Our worry is about gazing at the moon. If only we could stop gazing at the moon," Liu Wuyou said.

"How can it just disappear like that? That vixen, Mochizuki, is quite cautious; she left before things got hopeless."

Li Changsheng said.

If Wang Yue hadn't run away then, Niu Wendao would definitely have killed him before leaving.

Unfortunately, this toad, Wangyue, is well-versed in the art of running away when he can't win a fight.

Let Liu Wuyou rest well, and Li Changsheng also went back to his room to cultivate.

The next morning, he went to find Nie Qiu and expressed his worries.

Nie Qiu then went to report to the sect leader that this matter indeed needed to be guarded against. If Gu Hengtong left and Wang Yue came to raid the house, everything would be over.

Shuiyue Cave Heaven probably shares this concern.
